A Disney insider reports that Disney has been aggressively courting Beyonce to play the title role of ‘Aida’ in the film version of Elton John and Tim Rice’s acclaimed production. The Mouse is reportedly already in talks with this pop diva, trying to convince Ms. Knowles to make ‘Aida’ her follow-up project to ‘Dreamgirls.’ Starring in the movie version of this Tony Award-winning musical should be a no-brainer for Beyonce. Particularly since the show’s title role has proven to be such an effective showcase for chart toppers like Toni Braxton and Ms. Knowles’ fellow ‘Destiny’s Child’ survivor, Michelle T. Williams.
